The PerfTech team is looking for an outstanding Senior C++ Software Engineer to build the next generation of AI-powered developer tools. You will apply deep expertise in modern C++, systems architecture, performance, and debugging to extend our developer-tools ecosystem into the emerging world of agentic software. In this role, you will help develop Genie, our company-wide AI knowledge and developer-productivity service. You will build production-quality C++ components and integrations while contributing to agentic workflows and retrieval systems that help engineers find information, understand complex systems, and work more effectively.
What Youll Be Doing:
Architect and develop production-quality C++ components, APIs, and integrations for NVIDIAs AI-powered developer-tools ecosystem.
Build reliable, performance-sensitive systems connecting native C++ tools with Genies retrieval and agentic capabilities.
Design maintainable interfaces between C++ applications and AI services exposed through Python, MCP, REST APIs, and structured tool calling.
Contribute to agentic workflows, retrieval systems, ingestion pipelines, evaluation infrastructure, and enterprise integrations.
Drive technical initiatives from early exploration through production deployment, working closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Mentor engineers and help establish best practices for production-quality AI-powered systems.
Requirements: What We Need to See:
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of professional experience developing complex production software in modern C++.
Strong knowledge of software architecture, concurrency, debugging, performance optimization, and maintainable API design.
Experience owning complex systems from design through implementation, deployment, and ongoing operation.
Practical experience with AI-powered applications, agentic workflows, developer tools, retrieval systems, or related technologies.
Ability to integrate native C++ applications with Python-based services and service APIs.
Excellent communication skills and demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, clarify ambiguous requirements, and mentor engineers.
Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd:
Experience building developer tools, profiling systems, debugging infrastructure, or performance-analysis platforms.
Background with MCP, structured tool calling, agent orchestration, or retrieval-augmented generation.
Experience designing secure, enterprise-scale retrieval or semantic-search systems.
Familiarity with LLM evaluation, grounding, observability, and hallucination reduction.
Knowledge of GPU architecture, graphics APIs, game engines, or application-performance optimization.
This position is open to all candidates.
